Before we start:
•
Call the roll, repeat the replies with the pupils and exchange greetings
•
Tutor and pupils sign what day of the week it is, with the visual support
of the material they previously created

get something. How will you
communicate with the
cashier?
Any ideas?
•
Tutor introduces basic foods often used as ingredients
•
Do vocabulary building activities (matching, odd one out, true/false,

ingredients of various recipes, or find in a list the only ingredient not
used in a particular dish

Pupils can be invited to sign their favourite dish, and might be encouraged to draw, colour or even make a
visual representation of the dish using different materials available to them
•
Pupils can play maths games of addition and subtraction based on the ingredients of dishes and tutor
instructions

types of food

Before we finish:
Do you know the sign for
your favourite food? Do you

in ISL?
